View this post on XAs with any fresh food on airlines, the airline has to balance having enough items in-stock during flight with reducing waste. And I've been on a number of domestic AA flights where the meal options run out just a few rows into the economy cabin.
If you want to ensure that AA stocks a Zoës Kitchen wrap just for you on your flight, you'll want to pre-order the meal 30 days to 24 hours before your flight. To do so, go into your trips on the AA website, select a reservation with a qualifying flight and scroll down to "reserve a meal":

In my experience, a flight attendant will deliver your sandwich or wrap to your seat at the beginning of the drink and snack service.
If you're an American Airlines Executive Platinum elite — and missed out on a complementary upgrade to domestic first class — you'll get a free entrée as well as an alcoholic drink. The entrée prices will show on AA's website, but you won't be charged on-board.
